Approved export meter for BG FIT

Your best option on farm jobs is Western Power Smart Meters - £245 install and £45 per year. I've used on several farm jobs - very efficient and easy to work with. 08457 448900 Option 2 Option3

Ah, now that is useful information, changes the situation quite a bit... but do they only do that in western power areas?

Useful to know.

But, not obvious why they should charge any ongoing fee. On the commercial RHI, OFGEM let you have a heat meter installed by a competent person and then you read it yourself, send them the readings and the income arrives.

Perhaps I am looking at it the wrong way round and OFGEM will start charging me for reading the meter and sending them the figures!

HH metering has always been charged for as they want to be able to predict loads etc so are looking for usage patterns. Consumers on HH are charged about £200+ per year for the privilege if having their meter read, and even those not on HH for consumption, HH was being required for export... so this seems a good deal. Mind you for a large organisation, having the HH data is incredibly valuable too - they get charged different rates at different times of day, so being able to manage your consumption is important to them.

I have also used wpd to fit and manage export meters and found them very good to work with .which is a refreshing change as metering and tariffs are a dark art/science to sort out.

Hi Gavin

No Western Power Smart Meters will install anywhere - the issues you'll have is getting the 155 data flows from the existing supplier as they do not understand the protocols involved but WPSM are very helpful

@puddy, would have been cheaper for domestic - the big costs are the three phase hh metering ones. For domestic, I believe it is read the same as the generation meter. However of course in your case, as you optimise your usage, they are better off with deemed

homesun said they were going to fit a export meter but never did. We had the meter changed from eco 7 to a new multi rate for meter Eco10, 2 years ago

homesun generation meter works via mobile phone connection but the signal so poor they have to send a human out to read it
